Movie Reviews of Let Joy Reign SupremeMovie Review: About the virtue of being a libertine....
Thanks to IMDb, I finally found and bought this masterpiece by Bertrand Tavernier(presently only available at amazon.com, involving additional costums duties when entering Europe!). It is one of those movies that give you the impression of travelling through time, providing a glimpse at the age and "Regency" of Louis XV. To a large degree, it is certainly due to Philippe Noiret's splendid performance as the Regent, generally known as the epitome of a libertine, that one cannot stop wondering if the world wouldn't be much better of with an atheist yet gentle and even humanitarian libertinism than with righteous austerity and fear of god. That at least seems to be the lesson to be drawn. Deliciously witty dialogs, great actors and a general impression of authenticity that Tavernier managaged to convey to his work will certainly delight those who were ravished by "Barry Lyndon", "Vatel", "Saint Cyr" or "Ridicule".
